				<p>The goal of the Semantic Web effort is to develop a methodology that would allow for machine understanding of data stored on various computers around the Web. The Web, as we know it now, is intended for human understanding. The main idea behind the Semantic Web is to provide means for adding a semantics to the stored information so that computer agents can "understand" what the data is all about. The semantic information is given through ontologies. The ontologies can be shared among various computer agents and used for the understanding of the content of the data even if the type of data is not quite familiar to the agent. The language for specifying ontologies is called OWL (it stands for Web Ontology Language).</p>

				<p>The programming objective of this project is to develop a system for information storage and retrieval for the Information Domain (see below) using the concepts and the principles of the Semantic Web and of the OWL language.</p>
